Scientists argue that managing the unpredictable course of Crohn's disease is like navigating blindfolded. While research has uncovered a wealth of potential biological markers to guide treatment, a critical gap between discovery and real-world clinical use is preventing a much-needed revolution in personalised patient care.

When two closely related poplar species interbreed, they create novel genetic combinations that influence their stomata—the tiny pores on their leaves. New research reveals that local climate, particularly precipitation, then acts as a selective force, favouring the genetic variations that help these hybrid trees adapt to their specific environment.

New genomic research reveals how two deep-sea molluscs employ drastically different strategies to survive methane surges caused by climate change. While a symbiosis-reliant mussel accelerates its metabolism, a predatory snail conserves energy by powering down.
